Abstract

The analysis of ship radiation signals to identify ships is an important research content of underwater acoustic signal processing. The traditional fast Fourier transform (FFT) is not suitable for analyzing non-stationary, non-Gaussian, and nonlinear signal processing. In order to realize the feature extraction and accurate classification of ship radiation signals with higher accuracy, a feature extraction method of ship radiation signals based on wavelet packet decomposition and energy entropy is proposed in this paper. According to wavelet packet decomposition, the ship radiation signal is decomposed into different frequency bands, and its energy entropy feature is extracted. As for comparisons, the center frequency and permutation entropy are also used as features to be extracted, then the k-nearest neighbor is applied to classify and recognize the extracted results. Based on the comparisons of wavelet packet decomposition, the center frequency, permutation entropy, and the k-nearest neighbor are used for classification and recognition. The experimental results present that, when comparing with center frequency and permutation entropy, the method based on energy entropy has the best availability, with the highest average recognition rate for four types of ship radiation signals, up to 98%.

Summary

Introduction

In the development of science and technology, underwater acoustic signal processing plays an extremely important role in the human exploration of the ocean and plays a great role in military and marine life research [1, 2]. Compared with approximate entropy and sample entropy, the arrangement is not affected by the length of the time series, and the calculation time is relatively short, so it has been applied in many fields [19,20,21]. As a preprocessor, wavelet packet decomposition can divide the frequency space into various finite frequency bands to realize the time-frequency localization of the signal. It can decompose the low frequency and the high frequency of the signal, and adaptively select the corresponding frequency band according to the analyzed signal, which has good timefrequency characteristics. E train of thought of this paper is given as follows: Section 2 gives an introduction to wavelet packet decomposition; Section 3 proposes a feature extraction method based on PE and wavelet packet decomposition; Section 4 verifies the effectiveness of the feature extraction method proposed in this paper through comparative experiments; Section 5 embraces main conclusions obtained
